Bucket Explorer works on every OS (Windows, Linux, and Mac OS X) where Java is supported. It uses Amazon’s ETag and its own SHA-1 hash combination to make sure that a file is never transferred again to Amazon S3 if is it not changed, to save the bandwidth costs and time. Cyberduck is a libre server and cloud storage browser for Mac and Windows with support for FTP, SFTP, WebDAV, Amazon S3, OpenStack Swift, Backblaze B2, Microsoft Azure & OneDrive, Google Drive and Dropbox. There are plenty of cloud storage options for Mac OS X. Most of the cloud storage providers, like Dropbox, Google Drive, OneDrive, etc., come with a desktop client that allows you to easily sync your files from the Finder. Mac OS X version 10.6.8 or later. 215 MB of available disk space. IODBC Driver Manager version 3.52.7 or later. For more information about the iODBC driver manager and links to download it, go to the Independent Open Database Connectivity website. An Amazon Redshift master user or user account to connect to the database. I'm looking for a MacOS X GUI AWS S3 client to handle listing of very large number of files and downloading some files from it. I work in a company where we have a cloud-based product that store files on S3. I'm looking for a good GUI client for Amazon S3. On Windows I used Cloudberry Explorer and I would like to know if there's anything like that for Mac OS X.
I need a small graphical utility, using which I can ssh to a server and see all the files and copy and paste (drag and drop) into my local machine.
I am running Snow Leopard.

A great free FTP client. This is my go-to application. Anytime I need FTP access, I use Cyberduck. It's not quite as lightweight as Fugu, but it adds a lot more functionality than Fugu. I also really like the Growl integration with Cyberduck.
Awesome little FTP client. As I noted above, this is a lightweight FTP client. It is great for simple FTP transfers and browsing. I do like the dual panel navigation.
EDIT: I forgot to add these.
I haven't actually used Filezilla extensively, but from what I've seen of it, I really like it. I downloaded it and played with it for a bit and I really like the tabbed connections. I also like the ability to jump to a path easily.
A free FTP/FTP-SSL client. I don't usually use RBrowser because a $29 upgrade is necessary to unlock other protocols (Local, FTP/SSL/TLS, SFTP-SSH). I do like the Site Manager. It's a handy little thing to have.
I searched and came up with some other free FTP clients:
The one downside I see is that this is for Firefox. The website doesn't make it clear how it works with Firefox, so I assume it is an extension.
This one relies on Google's MacFUSE. Since I don't know anything about MacFUSE, I don't know if this is good or bad.
I have never used Transmit before, but I have used Coda and I definitely would recommend anything from Panic. The only reason I haven't used this because of the $34 price tag.
Vmware horizon client for mac. Google Hangouts for Mac Flamingo App. Flamingo is an app, which is available from the app store of Mac. Actually, chrome extension is very much alike of Hangouts and it can disappear easily if you do not want to have it. It runs the Google Hangout for Mac online only and it is not for your desktop. Google Hangouts for Windows, OS X, and Linux Updated with a New Look. Windows/Mac/Linux: Google updated the Hangouts Chrome app today with a brand new look that makes it. Jul 03, 2013 Think of the desktop OS as the browser, and every app is a tab. Forcing me to then have to open my actual browser (which is an app anyway) just to launch your hangout extension/app (which you consider app anyway) is so redundant and inefficient its mind boggling why you would force this upon your loyal users.
Never used it, just found it when searching.
An amazing program with a long, long, long mac heritage. It's way up there with Transmit by Panic and Interarchy as a file transfer program loved by long time Mac power users.
Never used it, but looks good from the screenshots. I really like the fact that it looks like Finder. I may have to give this one a try.
Just searching around and found yet another one..It looks pretty nice, except it's no longer supported. However, you can still download it.
daviesgeekdaviesgeekTransmit
Panic's Transmit tops my list. An extremely well built and executed FTP Client that fully supports sFTP. Priced at $34.
Transmit is an excellent FTP (file transfer protocol), SFTP, S3 (Amazon.com file hosting) and iDisk/WebDAV client that allows you to upload, download, and delete files over the internet. With the most Mac-like interface available, Transmit makes FTP as simple, fun, and easy as it can possibly be.
Forklift
Forklift 2 is another terrific client that is just as solid and just as well built. Priced at $29.95.
ForkLift will connect to any remote server FTP, SFTP, Amazon S3, WebDAV, the SMB, NIS and AFP shares on your local network, or your Bluetooth mobile phone- pretty much anything you can plug into or hook up to a Mac. ForkLift also carries a complete toolbox for managing your files, including Folder Synchronization, Batch Renaming, Archive handling, Application deleter, editing files over remote connections and many more. All these power features are packaged into a Finder-like, dual-pane interface that delivers superior workflow while remaining absolutely familiar to use, along with QuickLook, Spotlight search and all.
Cyberduck
Lastly, Cyberduck rounds out the list. It is not as well polished, but it sturdy and does the job. It is free.
Cyberduck is a robust FTP/FTP-TLS/SFTP browser for the Mac whose lack of visual clutter and cleverly intuitive features make it easy to use. Support for external editors and system technologies such as Spotlight, Bonjour, Keychain and AppleScript are built-in.
Best bittorrent client for mac transmission. Note: You need to Pay attention while installing uTorrent otherwise, it may cause in installing adware and additional software useless.
There are others to be sure, but these are the one's I've used and personally recommend. Additionally, you may want to hit up places like MacUpdate, VersionTracker, or iUseThis for these types of questions. You will find much more diversity and get a better understanding of the programs available to you.
ExpanDrive acts just like a USB drive plugged into your computer. Open, edit, and save files to remote computers from within your favorite programs—even when they are on a server half a world away. ExpanDrive enhances every single application on your computer by transparently connecting it to remote data.

FileZilla
I have tried Cyberduck and Flow in the past but Filezilla offers a side-by-side interface which is quite useful. The only limitation with this tool is that it's not really MacOSX-aware, e.g. it shows all hidden files
Most other answers gave an objective analysis, but I'll share my experience.
Top clients:
- Flow: really nice interface.
- Transmit: very fast, can mount as Finder volume.
- Cyberduck: the best for the inexistent buck.
Add to others
This provides more of an interface like Finder than the others (stricyly much more like the original NeXT version) Apart form standard ssh/ftp it will syncronise directories etc.
MarkMarkA more recent option is to use the newer implementation of Fuse for OSX in combination with SSHFS. This is a better solution because most of the applications mentioned are either outdated or payed (and expensive).
Fuse for OSX allows you to use new file systems in user space and SSHFS configures the system to allow you to connect to SSH drives automatically, as if they were drives supported by OSX.
CaptainFTP is the best choice
Easy to download from itunes:
Cloudfront
Yummy FTP (commercial) : http://www.yummysoftware.com/
Can't believe the one that blows most of the above out of the water hasn't yet been mentioned.
We're looking for long answers that provide some explanation and context. Don't just give a one-line answer; explain why your answer is right, ideally with citations. Answers that don't include explanations may be removed.
If you need graphical utility with support for SSH you may try CRAX. This software has a built-in SSH client and after connection to the SSH server it's possible to invoke file operations like copy, move, and delete.
grg♦It's worth considering some of the Web-based alternatives, like Monsta FTP (Disclaimer: I'm involved with this).
Amazon Glacier
They save you having to install software on every device; instead you do it all through your Web-browser, with the same features as any desktop client.
Nimesh NeemaIf you are working with large files, then maybe consider Truck.app.
It employs rsync for file transfers, which is generally faster than FTP.
Disclosure: I am the developer of Truck.
I tried Cyberduck and Transmit. None of them has functionality of preserving modification date. SCP on terminal does that.
